I thought I saw one of those porcines outside my apartment...No wait, it's the damn wind blowing all this snow around.

Amazing WWE finally realized they can't write out Benoit's entire existence like they can script a wrestling match.

I think we are seeing from the worlds of boxing, football etc that the WWE were far from being the only ones to blame for concussion caused injuries.

I can't wait for UFC guys to start getting to potato level myself (hell GSP may be smart enough to realize it hence his 'hiatus')

If I remember right the autopsy on him revealed he had the brain of a man in his late 70's or 80's. What he did was horrible, but with that much trauma how can one know if he knew what he was doing at that moment.

Boxing has seen a huge spike of severe brain injuries directly after fights, unlike football injuries which seem much more accumulative in nature. I know there has been a few cases in high school football and such, but as a general rule we tend to see the effects much further down the line at the highest level. A fighter that unfortunately died after a fight was a very good friend of mine, and he was also close friends with the guy that ultimately put him to sleep.

I can only speak from my experience with boxing, but it seems that training methods, nutrition, supplementation (legal and illegal), etc. keep getting more advanced and allowing athletes to push themselves to new heights at a pace that protective gear/methods just can't catch up. It seems like there is only so much that can be done in that regard, while athletes keep getting bigger and more powerful.

IIRC, Benoit didn't even know the crimes were real. Much like the concurrent Vince death storyline, he thought it was all kayfabe and would lead to a revenge match against the Undertaker. When he discovered the murders were legit he committed suicide. On the witness stand Triple H broke down and admitted he set the whole thing up to bury Benoit, literally and figuratively. He was sentenced to life but referee Earl Hebner reversed the decision. Source: lordsofpain.com

On the plus side, at least two people were willing to put him over in the end.

Good. He was one of the best in ring performers (top 5 easily) in the history of the industry and even though I understood why WWE would want to make him an unperson, the last few hours of his life should not erase what he contributed to the WWE and to pro wrestling at large.

Exactly. You knew when his music hit that you were in for a great match. He could even make underperformers look good.

Yes he farked up, but as you said his contributions shouldn't be forgotten.

Any commentary praising him will be deleted, camera angles will be changed as to not show close-ups of him, ring intros will be cut out, segments will be removed, and worst of all, they'll never show the Tonka Chris Benoit wrestling buddy ever again.

I bet they do like they did with the old logo and just put a huge distracting blur over him. The whole video it'll look like Kurt Angle is fighting Noob Saibot.

Won't have to worry about this; since they're going OTA on my cable provider at the end of the month.
